this institute director
serving as a regular teacher in one
of our departments," Kelly said.

Dan's wish to teach gets lots of press coverage
Every CS student wonders why the
illustrious Dan Reed isn't offering
the exciting, advanced networking classes he'd originally hoped to
teach.
Well, take it
easy on the guy, because Dan's simply too busy networking
himself. Here's a photo
of Dan networking -- coming from yet another
meeting with Chancellor Moeser:
Fortunately for UNC's students, networking with the Chancellor and
other
fantasticos isn't nearly as compelling to Dan as is teaching. As
he
said in
his own presentation to UNC IT staff, "Teaching is a privilege, not a
duty."
("ITS Hall Meeting" Sep 20 2004, meant to excite employees
about the upcoming staff-cutting "reorganization")
(By the way, for everyone else but Dan:
consilience )
In
the great tradition of the ancient Greeks (later revived during the
Renaissance),
masters of knowledge and wisdom shared their teachings with the next
generation.
As
the great Renaissance man we all know him to be, Dan wants to be the
next link
in that tradition.
Here he is hanging out, playing foosball in the graduate students'
lounge.
So you see, Dan really does yearn to be with students.
(And were any of you
kind enough to join him? No! So, help Dan
help you! Help Dan ... help you!)
Where has Dan been, you ask? Where are the updates?
Well, fear not, because he's making a comeback:
There are some who are in darkness
And the others are
in light
And you see the
ones in brightness
Those in darkness
drop from sight ...

That's right, friends, Dan is back! But where is he?
Well,
he's about to do for the town of Chapel Hill what he's
done for a few lucky departments at UNC!
Moeser's letter to Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin
Foy
And whad'ya know? Moeser's letter led to a real, live meeting!
Our growing spy network got this for us:
Sigh. "No specific proposals or agreements were
discussed." Is this samo samo, Dano Dano?
Well, at least Jim Gogan is involved, he's superb. But will that
be enough?
You'll just have to tune in tomorrow for an update!
